Sockets only make sense if you're pushing lots of data from the client to the server - or need the extra, unnoticeable speed difference for pulling data. And then again - it might not even be better, it's a flash bridge afterall ... If you’re only pulling data from the server http streaming and long polling are way more adequate than flash sockets.

Check out Orbited's TCPSocket http://www.orbited.org (hmm weird, looks like their site is down - March 11th 10am PST) They've also got the inklings of a javascript irc API so you can make calls like irc.join('#channel') I just got a working version of their hello world irc chat app up and running over the weekend. http://irc.hackyhack.net Also check out http://www.mibbit.com if you haven't already heard of it (but they're closed source) You can find me (KevBurnsJr) on irc.freenode.net Happy hacking :) You could use a socketBridge to flash, OR you could use an existing solution.
